President Biden delivered a historic address before a joint session of Congress on Wednesday — the eve of his 100th day since taking office.
Driving the news: Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made history as the first women to lead the Senate and House during a president's congressional address. The event was also notable for having pandemic restrictions in place that included having virtual guests.
